One Hill of an Adventure
Every guide on this page started as a planning document for a real trip we took. Some cost us a few hundred dollars; others ran into the thousands. Some fit into a long weekend; others were only possible between semesters or jobs, when we had more time to go further.
You'll find 2 kinds of guides here: a handful of full itineraries that are complete, day by day trips with all the costs included, and a growing set of destination guides, shorter breakdowns of a single place with what to do, where to stay, what to eat, and tips for saving money there.
Both share the same approach. They offer real recommendations for things to do, where to stay, where to eat, and how you can save money. You can use them as a starting point and adjust to your own interests and pace. If you're earlier in the process of planning to afford travel, Financial Foundations is the better place to begin. And we're always around to help you plan your trip, at whatever budget, in our 1:1 sessions.
In Progress
We're building out guides from short and long trips across all areas of the US and beyond. We'll be sharing trips from the East Coast, the West Coast, road trips in between, and a ton of other places we've been. Check back over time as we keep adding new guides.
